Two videogames and a Lips Game Controller
I remember every tooth of hers
And wrote words about them,
Fitting them into a dense shankr
Inter-face
First game is a poetic book, a wreath of sonnets. Warm memories of a bygone time are combined with the usual cleansing of the mouth of food residue, appearing as pearlescent drops.
In this poetry, proprioceptive self-perceptions play hide-and-seek with each other, creating memories of “how the face was lived”
The second game is an experimental attempt to combine mnemonic practices and video watching. Here, the memorization technique is intertwined with the anticipation of the video narrative’s denouement and directly linked to the results of memorizing the proposed combinations.
As a result of such twisting, even the possible expectation of suspense is counterbalanced by anxiety during the feverish search for the necessary combinations.
The control is done with the keyboard, but the gameplay is fully revealed when using the Lips game controller.
